I think emoticons actually reinforce a misunderstanding, that feelings and emotions are 'ours'. 'You hurt 'my' feelings'. The quickest way to completely transform your life I think is to experience feelings as relations between you and the world around you, including other people. You don't have to 'do' that either, all that's needed is experiencing feelings and emotions in the full context they're occurring, rather than artificially stewing on them as if they reside 'inside' you. Experiencing them in that context will transform your life, without you having to think about or do a thing. The context will provide the meaning of the emotions and feelings, automatically. That includes your 'physical' relationship with the planet, what we call gravity. I don't think there's a single human problem that isn't caused by people separating their emotions and feelings from the context in which they're occurring.
